showed that the atonement is free Offering
to be obtained through faith The speaker
did not want his hearers to see sin theologi-

Jesus Christ that we discover the imperfec-
tons of our righteousness. We are not sim
ply to put our sins upon Christ, but put our
selves upon Him, for our sins are part of
ourselves: They are inwrought with the
texture Of our nature. So welded are thew
as part Of our very life that they cannot
be separated from ourselves. DIR. Gordon's
discourse was one of the most instructive
and able discourses ever delivered in Lewis

Five Years Buried.

The sheriffs have recently unearthed be-
hind building on Fore street. liquor trap
which had been undetected during the five
years of its existence. Three beer barrels
were sunk in the ground and connected by
tubes with a ioist in stable near by. On
the side of the ioist an innocent looking
board apparently nailed there, when re-
leased by pressure ON a hidden spring
turned on hinge at the bottom, and dis
closed the faucet by which tine beer was
drawn. The barrels in the earth had gal
yanlzed iron pipes extending up to near the
surface OF the ground. When the barrels
were to be replenished, the dirt was re-
moved from over these pipes, tunnel
placed in each and the beer poured in. At
forwards the pipes were again covered and
there was nothing to show the existence of
the hiding place.
